Executive Office

Welcome the County Executive's Office

As County Executive, I am proud of the services that we provide to the citizens of Portage County and the quality of life in our twenty-seven municipalities.

Portage County's departments provide timely and quality service to over 71,000 citizens. From our well-maintained highway system and to our top rated Division of Public Health, we pride ourselves on being customer focused. Quality of life is important to us in Portage County, we constantly upgrade our parks and trails systems for the enjoyment of our residents and visitors, while continually enhancing our public safety departments to assist them to better serve and protect the public. The County also provides quality services to our children, our elderly and to our disabled citizens through our Health & Human Services Department and Aging & Disability Resource Center.

It is the mission of Portage County government to enhance the quality of life for all its residents by providing fiscally responsible services that enable our citizens to build productive communities, families, and lives.
